Hi,
(sorry if this is off topic)
Basically it is, but everything can be made on-topic if adequately worded :-)
I need to get the current date and time and convert it into a string that follows the xsd:datetime time stamp format: [-]CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss[Z|(+|-)hh:mm].
(timezone should be UTC)
Any ideas on how to do that? The Boost::Date_Time library documentation is confusing to my feeble mind.
If that's your only usage then date_time is probably overkill and I'd suggest just resorting to the standard strftime. Something like this might fit your needs: <http://boost.cvs.sourceforge.net/boost/boost/tools/common/time_string.hpp?revision=1.1&view=markup> -- [ Gennaro Prota, C++ developer for hire ]
